construction starts tomorrow!
i did have one problem with disassembly, however. i can't remove the wires from the RO's battery pack without breaking the solder (which isn't that big a deal, i just don't have a soldering iron). it will be possible to do everything with it still connected, but it'll be a little more awkward. any tips?

| Yeah, you definately don't want to attempt this mod if you don't have a soldering iron. I've used solder on practically EVERY mod I've ever done. Get yourself a soldering iron! |

very good day 1, finished almost all the cutting.
the necks aren't parallel, but i'm happy with it. it's not yet glued. you may have noticed how epic the cuts are; i used a utility knife (a buffer version of the x-acto) along a straight edge then flexed the halves until they broke on a perfect line.
The Halftar!!! (i almost wish i could keep it this way)
this will fit in that gap on the front. i still need to cut part of the RO for this.
this curve in the RO is kind of a problem. i'm going to try setting an iron on it and seeing if the heat can melt it enough to bend it down.
edit: 
it worked.
op: another problem i have is making a hole for the headset. i'm going to try using the RO's strap nub hole (lol) for the sync button. the phone cable is unnecessary.
(i'll assume this double post is excused)

cutting is now done.
this is a problem. it appears i measure the top wrong, and now i need to patch these holes... this also proves the guts will fit.

just glue it in there and then go back latter after everything is glued up and use bondo to fill in all of the gaps

| You probably didn't mean to make the necks unparallel, but I kinda like it like that. Makes it look a little crazy! (Which it is) |

i like the non-parallel necks too because it leaves more room for my fretting hand.

I have faith that you can finish this project. but I suggest you use some sand paper if you want to smoothen out the thickly curved back side of the SG guitar that way you can make the guitar look nicer. and also what bondo?

if i used sand paper on the curve, it would be buffed out into oblivion. i need that part, i just need it flat.
edit: awaiting epoxy
